Question / Help Trouble Casting

Shadow2k1 · Nov 17, 2013

I'm not sure what i did... i've been using OBS for about 3 weeks.. and my stream was great.

As of today.. i did something to my OBS and now i can't even stream... yet alone go live.

I am using a Avermedia Cap Card, I put my Stream Key in the settings.. and set up my OBS with Window, Game and Cap card options under 1 scene..

The most i get is my PC Desktop... or a red or black stream... It won't show my game. But like i said as of today.. it worked just fine.. does anyone know what i did wrong.. or had the same problem?

So nobody can help me? Man... this software is crap in my opinion...

Sapiens · Nov 17, 2013

You yourself admit that you screwed something up, and now OBS is crap? Right. Lose the attitude, post a log file like you should have originally - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7144

Also instead of adding everything to your scene at once, add things one at a time and test them before you add another one. That way you know which sources are experiencing specific problems. Which sources work? Which don't? For the sources that don't work, what is each one of them doing?

Shadow2k1 · Nov 18, 2013

I dunno how to add a log file.... All i know is i updated my OBS and ever since i did that... my stream is all whack and won't stream properly. I even Re installed OBS, and made a whole new Scene set. Still no go...

Personally Unlike most people.. I believe the only way i can get mine fixed is if i have someone in person.. show me what i did wrong. But.. I don't know anybody in the real world close to me, who uses OBS so.. I'm pretty sure i won't be streaming until i figure out what i did wrong.. and who knows how long that will take..

Check the link Sapiens posted (that you should have read before even creating the topic).

Hope that Log Helps

Lain · Nov 18, 2013

What specific capture card model are you using? Also, put that x264 CPU preset back to veryfast, and use more downscale if that's all the bandwidth you can spare.

Sapiens · Nov 18, 2013

- Why is your base resolution set to 1280x972 when your native resolution appears to be 1280x1024?
- Why are you trying to stream at 1280x972 at 60 FPS on the medium preset? Your CPU almost certainly can't handle that.
- Why are you using 256 Kbps AAC audio? 128 Kbps would be more than enough.
- Why are you using only 750 Kbps for your stream? It will look terrible given your target resolution and frame rate. How much upstream bandwidth is actually available for you to work with?
- What exactly are you trying to stream that requires Game Capture, Window Capture, and a capture card?

To be fair your current settings are a complete mess and would work just as poorly in older versions of OBS.

Shadow2k1 · Nov 18, 2013

Well to answer your questions, I use an avermedia external capture card.

Whenever i boot up my OBS i really don't mess with the settings.. whenever i do, my stream seems to go bad. So i don't really touch em.

My Upload is like .845 kbps and my download is like 4.83 mbps

I can only stream at 750 because my my upload isn't even 1.0 Mbps

and 60 frame rates i never touched that, it configured that on it's own.
Same with the audio.. i'll lower it, but i don't really touch it heh.
Also the resolution needs fixed also i noticed that.

And i'm trying to Stream my ps 3 games...

Sapiens · Nov 18, 2013

OBS does not default to any of the settings that are messed up here, you have manually changed them at some point.

- Which specific AVerMedia device are you using? Provide a model name/number.
- What are you trying to capture with a Game Capture source?

Shadow2k1 · Nov 20, 2013

Hmm.. What model of avermedia?

AVerMedia - C875 Live Gamer Portable (LGP) HD Game Capture for PC/PS3 & 4/Wii U/Xbox360 & One up to 1080p, 60Mbps

And for the game capture.. I'm trying to capture my ps 3 game.. which is running through RE Central on my Avermedia..
The game shows up fine on RECentral but for some reason.. i can't get it to show up on my obs.. i have it selected for Video

dodgepong · Nov 21, 2013

Do you have the latest version of the LGP stream engine? The LGP can be finicky with OBS since they don't provide a proper DirectShow filter.

Also, are you capturing the PS3 via HDMI?

Shadow2k1 · Nov 22, 2013

I'll double check the updates for both programs.

And i think i'm streaming in HDMI Yes..
